A+E Global Media Expands FAST Footprint in DACH

A+E Global Media has expanded its FAST footprint with channels for Ax Men and Swamp People in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

“Germany, Austria and Switzerland represent key growth markets for FAST, and these single-series channels demonstrate how powerful premium IP can be when it is delivered in a way that is simple, focused and always available,” said Mark Garner, executive VP and head of global FAST channels at A+E Global Media. “Working with world-class platform partners allows us to meet audiences where they already are, with programming they already love, and to do it at real scale.”

The new channels have launched in Germany on Prime Video, Rakuten TV and Titan OS, with Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Pluto TV, VIDAA and wedotv to follow. Additional platform rollouts will be announced in the coming months.

Ax Men goes into the woods to follow loggers who risk it all. Swamp People ventures into the bayous and swamps of Louisiana to follow the descendants of Cajun immigrants, Native Americans and early settlers during the 30-day alligator-hunting season.
